Laporta: It would be nice to make up for it with a tribute, it would be inappropriate to speculate that Messi will return as a player

Barcelona President Laporta was interviewed by Catalonia Radio and talked about whether Messi will return to Camp Nou as a player.

Messi’s unfulfilled wish

Laporta: Things did not develop in the direction everyone expected. It would be great if in some way, like this tribute, we could make up for what was not done before. As for speculation that he might return as a player, that's not appropriate.

In a previous interview with Daily Sports, Messi said about Camp Nou: "I am very eager to return (Barcelona), we miss Barcelona very much. The children always talk about it, and my wife, we always talk about Barcelona, ​​we have the idea of going back to live.

We have our house there and everything, so this is our wish. I am very eager to be in the new Camp Nou. It will be a bit strange to go back to the new Camp Nou because I haven’t been back to it since I went to Paris and they moved to Montjuïc (Olympic Stadium). It will be exciting to see it because it was so long ago that I last saw it and it will be exciting to relive and remember all the memories, even if the stadium is different. Thank you for the continued love.”
